It's something in the air. Or the person whose bookmark on delicious I've followed actually read your post and made it then. So, I've read Flinch just today, before I've read your recs. And ok, I read fics carelessly, because most of the fandom bring the happy to the masses. Thus, it was really a punch, I was left blinking helplessly at the screen, wondering what just happened. The thing that fascinates me most is that I really thought, was 100% sure that another 5000 words, and everything will be all right. I'm spoiled on happy ending fics.

I usually wait for a really crappy time in my life to read angsty fics, so that I know that life could be a lot more crappier. I'll put The End of the Road on my waiting list.
